6. Place batter into pastry bag using a wide plain tip, and pipe dough into mounds the size of cherry tomato (The cherry tomato in my head is much smaller than david's.. as I managed to make 55 puffs instead of 30 ^^). Otherwise use a small ice cream scoop or 2 spoons to shape. Top with some grated cheese and parmesan ^^

7. Bake at 425F/220C for 10 minutes, then reduce to 375F/190C for another 20 minutes, or till golden brown. For extra-crispy puffs, david recommends poking the side of each puff with a sharp knife to release steam, 5 mins before they are done.. and return them to the oven to finish baking. ^^

8. Serve immediately from the oven! Yums!

When I brought it up to share with piggies, baby pig asked what these were.. I answered him, "OMG good!" ^^ Seriously, these french cheese puffs are AWESOME FABULOUS!!! ^^ Just trust me on this! ^^

p.s. this is a super-duper easy and delicious recipe I-don't-know-why-I-didn't-make-sooner???!! and why-didn't-I-double-the-recipe-today???!! aaargh..p.p.s. this is perhaps my last bake for a while.. till I get rid of thunder thighs from too much merrymaking the last few weeks! ^^|| i seriously need to go on diet!!! wish me luck.. ^^ did i hear a snicker? no, wait.. that was me ^^

if not for my "diet" plan, i wouldn't have had to share these with piggies! i would have eaten all 55 puffs myself! ^^ seriously, these are so good, 2 dozen could be devoured in under 3 minutes, squishy angie! ^^

oh, mel.. hope you recover from the blues soon.. i'm taking a (reluctant-)break from baking for a while, so that my tummy, butt and thighs can take a rest. but i still hope to feast with my eyes ^^ hope to see you back in action soonest! ^^

i really hope you make david's gougeres soonest, nami! ^^ i totally regret not making these earlier.. but i'm also glad i found david's easy yummy recipe because of that ^^ these really are drool-worthy! and easy ^^!
